Hey there! I'm James.

I am a designer, cancer survivor, educator and new father. I bring a unique blend of empathy, creativity, and resilience to my work. My diverse experiences fuel my passion for design as a medium for expressing human connections, creating transformative experiences, and achieving meaningful results.

Currently I am the Director of Digital Experience at Simpson Scarborough, helping develop impactful brand experiences and design systems.
‍
I have a passion for education and empowering the next generation of creatives. I am a graduate program design educator at the Miami Ad School, a board member of Advertising for Change, the Education Chair of AIGA Atlanta, and a board member of the Museum of Design Atlanta. These roles keep me grounded within the design community, enabling me to continuously bring a fresh perspective.

When not fulfilling my design duties, I contribute photography to Getty Images and volunteer as a Community Group Leader for Buckhead Church.
